The Land of Miracles is a very interesting watch. I have finished the 1st season and i must admit, it is out of my expectation on the flow of the story. There are some plot twist involve and it caught me by surprised. Initially, i thought it will be just the same as other Chinese Donghua but after watching halfway, i got my 1st surprised. I am not going to give you all any spoiler, so go watched it yourself.
I did not expect the character development to be so well presented in a Donghua based on my previous experience with other Donghua that i have ... watched so far ( in the number of around 100++ titles up to date ).
I am highly recommending this Donghua for everyone who read my review here. You will not regret it. However, i do need to forewarned that the story start slow in the beginning and hope you all will not give up so easily.
Lastly, the CG is good and with lots of ideas on the location scenery, fashion, facial expressions etc.

I stumble upon this Donghua unexpectedly while searching for some Donghua to watch during my weekend holiday.
I am amassed by the high level of animation quality as it is as good as some of the great Japanese anime i have watched all these years as i am an avid anime/donghua lover.
I strongly advise everyone who read my review to watch this Donghua until the end as you will not be disappointed.
As for those who were discourage to do so, (after reading some bad reviews), to give it a try as it is considerably short Donghua with just 12 episodes (Season 1) and each ... episode is around 20 minutes maximum. At the end of the Season 1, there is an introduction of Season 2 short clip.
The animation is so great that you can actually see those specks of dusts floating around in some of the scenes and it is produced by one of the TOP animation company in China.
Generally, this is a straight forward series that is somewhere in between MIB + X-Files with future technology involve but skewed towards Eastern Values of Chinese characteristic.
I am waiting for season 2 anxiously.

A good 3D donghua that i strongly advise all to give it a watch :-

Drawing/Art: Good and acceptable colorful CG animation with beautiful building/scenery, pretty girls and handsome boys without ugly faces shown throughout the series. MC is as usual a Playboy type who likes to flirt with all the girls he meet.

Music/Score: Interesting song that lean towards classical music with Chinese characteristic. Unlike present day normal modern song.

Story: Cultivation/upgrading of MC fighting power. MC always try to help those weakling and killing or beating up those bad guys. Smooth story line which is easily follow and it is quite addictive when you binge watch.

Highly Recommended for all to watch in order to have a personal feel on what China Donghua animation have to offer compare to Japanese Anime & Western Cartoon.

I am inspired to write this short concise review as i believe more people started to watch Chinese 2D/3D CG Donghua from China especially English speaking fans worldwide who may find it very different due to culture shock. One may be surprise by the quality of these Donghua, especially 3D CG. On many occasion, you will end up binge watching all these as it is addictive with their good story and action and Wushen Zhuzai is one ... of those binge watching series that you will definitely feel satisfied at the end of it.

Chinese Donghua have very different storyline (martial arts/sword fighting with cultivation/revenge plot that is not too violent, stye of art that is so unique and refreshing. One aspect is the elaborate colorful design on the landscape/buildings in all these Donghua. Another is the drawing of a person be it a man or woman's face, costume, hairstyle and so on.
You may also see more realistic representation of human beings whether they are handsome/ugly/short/tall/nasty/extremely good personality etc....
Lastly, those fighting scene with fast action which is done nicely, not too slow/draggy that may bore you to death.

Please do watch with an open receptive mind and heart without bias comparison with other anime/carton available all these years. Do bear with it short duration of approximately 5-6 minutes per episode which is commonly found on most of the Donghua produced. Given more time and further experience in this field, more and more good quality Donghua from China will be available in near future.
